The Community Asylum Seekers Project (CASP) is a nonprofit organization that supports asylum seekers in the Brattleboro, Vermont area.

We seek to cultivate a supportive community for those seeking asylum in the U.S. while supporting basic needs and accompanying clients on their journey towards building a life in Southern Vermont.

Our Impact

  • Providing basic needs and services: food, shelter, medical and mental health services, language learning, job training, and school enrollment.
  • Assistance in applying for work permits and navigating the asylum claim process.
  • Accompaniment through the asylum process and the journey to make a home in a new country.
  • Educational events and workshops about migration, trauma, and racism to facilitate increased public understanding and awareness about asylum seekers and their lived experience.

You can help us meet these needs by visiting our donations page and becoming a sustaining donor, or by becoming a volunteer!


In response to the evolving COVID-19 situation, we are providing our volunteers, staff, and guests with state and local guidelines, in Spanish and English, about in-person contact – realizing that everyone will need to take the personal precautions that protect their healthcare needs.
